Types of Approvals We Handle

​

We manage the full range of construction authority approvals in Dubai, tailored to your project type and location.

 

1. Dubai Municipality Approval - For all types of residential, commercial, and industrial construction and renovation, Dubai Municipality approval is essential. This includes structural changes, MEP works, swimming pools, landscape, and more. Our team understands the detailed requirements for municipality approval Dubai, ensuring smooth clearance.  

 

2. Dubai Development Authority (DDA) Approval - For developments located in freehold and special economic zones, Dubai Development Authority approvals are required. We prepare all documents and coordinate directly with DDA engineers for smooth approvals. Projects under the Dubai Development Authority must meet specific zoning, design, and safety standards.

 

3. Additional Approval Services by Property Type
We provide tailored approval services for various property types, including:

  • Residential Apartments 

  • Residential Villa & Townhouse 

  • Retail shops and showrooms

  • Office Space

  • Warehouses and industrial units


Whether you require Dubai Municipality approval for a small café or construction authority approvals for a commercial warehouse, we've got you covered.

 

4. Fit-Out & Renovation Approvals - From partition changes to full commercial fit-outs, we handle municipality approval in Dubai to ensure your design and materials meet government standards. These construction authority approvals are essential for a legal and hassle-free project execution.

 

5. Trakhees Approval - Trakhees is the regulatory body for developments under the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC). This includes zones like JAFZA, Nakheel projects, and Dubai Waterfront. Trakhees approval is required for new builds, renovations, fit-outs, or any construction activity in these jurisdictions. It covers engineering, environment, and fire safety compliance.

 

6. Civil Defense Approval - Civil Defense Approval focuses on fire and life safety aspects of a project. It is essential for buildings that involve human occupancy such as commercial spaces, residential buildings, warehouses, or clinics. This approval ensures proper fire alarms, sprinkler systems, emergency exits, and fire-resistant materials are in place according to UAE Fire and Life Safety Code.

​

7. DEWA Approval - The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) must approve all connections and upgrades related to electricity and water supply. Whether you're adding lighting fixtures, HVAC systems, or plumbing extensions, DEWA approval is required to ensure the systems are safe, efficient, and meet energy conservation standards.

 

8. DMCC Approval - DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) governs commercial activities in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) area. If your office or retail outlet is within DMCC jurisdiction, this approval ensures your fit-out or renovation work meets their rules for design, materials, and building safety. It also involves coordination for utility connections and inspections.

​

9. Concordia & Nakheel Approvals - For properties in communities developed by Nakheel (like JVC, Palm Jumeirah, Discovery Gardens), Concordia is often the facility management body that oversees renovations and upgrades. Their approval ensures that your renovation or construction work does not affect the building structure, utilities, or community regulations. This includes NOC issuance and periodic inspections during the project.​
